A man filmed himself proposing to his girlfriend of 18 months during a tandem skydive at 12,500 ft, and then watched in horror as the sparkling ring slipped out of his hand and plummeted to earth.

But guys, don’t worry, it was all part of his amazing plan.

Brandon Strohbehn actually planned to drop the ring mid-flight as he proposed, and had roped in friends and family to meet the couple on the ground where he proposed again – this time with the real ring. N’awww.

The pair, from California, have done 224 skydives between them, and so Brandon thought it was the perfect way to propose to his sweetheart Nicole.

His brother arranged for all their loved ones to meet them when they landed in San Diego, where, thankfully, Nicole said yes.
